As a cricket widow this afternoon, I
thought it would give me a chance to review my blog from 2013 and see what
we’ve done in the last 12 months.
2013 began at Lake Elidon with terrible
hangovers, following a random New Years Eve party and a 10-hour drive back to
Adelaide once hangovers had been cured.
January saw me move into my 30s with a
fantastic weekend to the Barossa Valley Wine region, even though my birthday
present of a hot air balloon ride never happened, due to bad weather. We
continue to try for 6 months but when I fell pregnant this had to stop. Never
mind, maybe I will get it for my 40th. Instead of a hot air balloon
ride Mark bought the ring to complete my set.
In Feburary and March we enjoyed the annual
Adelaide Fridge Festival and the Future Music Festival where we saw Ellie
Goulding, Stone Roses and The Prodgy.
We also celebrated Ben’s (My Godson) first
birthday. This year has seen him grow so
much. He is now walking and saying a few words now and then. With all the things that he is learning, he
still makes time for a hug with his godmother when she visits.

In March and April we escaped to the Eyre
Peninsula for our Easter holiday. This was another of our long camping trips.
This one however was far more relaxing than our Christmas trip, as we travelled
less Km’s and spent more times relaxing and reading a good book. I think my favourite camping sites were
Coffin Bay and Memory Cove in the Port Lincoln National Park. This holiday also saw Mark get the car stuck
off road for the first time. This happened when driving around sand dunes in
the Port Lincoln National Park.
Entertainment at Coffin Bay included sand
castle making and learning how to place Kubb.

In late April we enjoyed a weekend visitor
from NSW.

In May we celebrated our third wedding
anniversary and found out that I was pregnant and I ran my first guide camp as
leader in charge.

In June we enjoyed our last camping trip
along the Goog’s track with Lynne and Michael.
July saw us begin the big job of getting
ready for our new arrival and after months of work and preparation I am glad to
say that we are almost there. I just need to cook some meals for the freezer
now. I have a feeling that this may be my job next week.

Claire 37 Weeks – 4th January
2013
August saw Mark move into his 30’s and to
celebrate we spent the weekend in the McLean Vale and he had a ride in a Tiger
Month plane.
At the end of September we sadly had to see
our dear friend Kate return to the UK. We now look forward to catching up with
her in 2014, during our own trip home.
In October we welcomed our friend Jane to
the land down under and spent a week with her in Melbourne and along the great
ocean road.
To round October off Mark became a cow for
one night, as we attended a Halloween fancy dress party.
November was spent in full swing with the
baby preparation, my friend Liz held a baby shower for me and Mark tried to
grow a moustache for Movember.
December saw the beginning of the Christmas
festivities begin. With a work trip for me to the Barossa Valley, Mark spent
the day at the cricket with Jason, I finished work on Christmas Eve and we had
an overall relaxing Christmas and New Year.
